John Cleese, the star of the legendary Monty Python comedy group, once used to want to write a speech for Barack Obama if he won the Democratic nomination to run for president.

John Cleese has declared support for the black American presidential candidate Barack Obama. He said that Obama was the most suitable candidate for the position of US President at that time.

During Obama’s election, Mr. Cleese lived in the United States. He told a local newspaper that his funny stories could help the Illinois Senator fulfill the White House dream. He said he intended to go to Europe in November but he could postpone the plan if Obama won the Democratic nomination ticket. Monty Phyton’s comedy wants to help Barack Obama as a speechwriter because Obama is an outstanding person.

At that time, John Cleese was living in California and only returned to England in May or June when his personal assistant said it was time for him to return. The 68-year-old comedian came to America for health reasons. He had severe pneumonia because the winter in England was too cold.

John Cleese became famous in the 1970s when he was a member of the Monty Python comedy group. The influence of this group on comedy is often compared to the influence of the Beatles in music.

Eric Idle from Monty Python has brought a humorous British atmosphere. In the opening, he wanted to be shot out of a cannon. However, it does not work. Eric Idle conducted a performance among a crowd of nuns. The song Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life is very attractive. This is a familiar melody from Life Of Brian – a famous comedy troupe’s film.

During his performance at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony, Monty Python comedy team member still kept the lyrics “Life’s a piece of shit when you look at it”. The audience heard this sentence when watching live and lived-stream of NBC. However, NBC Television cut this sentence before broadcasting to audiences.

Not only performed at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony but Always Look on the Bright Side of Life also resounded in the 2014 World Cup. Recognizing the lack of optimism around England’s chances of going deeper into the next round, Monty Python added a piece from the Life of Brian soundtrack to this song. It was originally composed to encourage a young man who was mistaken for the Messiah when he was suspended on a cross but now has become a famous song that everyone in a large stadium must sing along.

Perhaps this is one of the quite different exhibitions for the Londoners. There is a Norwegian blue parrot in a hard dead posture (long or high depending on the position) 15m along the River Thames across the city center.

It’s been 50 years since Monty Python created “the second language in an outcast everywhere.” The head of the 3 sculptor group is Prendergast. “We are all Monty Python fans and we are pleased to create this parrot,” he said. It took them two months to complete the work in both literally and figuratively.”

Monty Python is often called The Pythons. This is a comedy group that created Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which the UK television program was broadcasted the first time on BBC on October 5, 1969. 45 episodes were recorded with more than 4 series. This theater group has a strong influence on comedy in the country. Their influence is like the Beatles influencing music.

The dead parrot is the character in Monty Python’s plays played on television. In the near future, live shows will be shown again on stage.
